Video is interview with participant in the protest
On the 4th of January, protesters showed up outside the Alexandria
Holiday Inn, demanding fascists and Proud Boys be refused rooms for the
upcoming coup attempt. A "credible threat" of violence caused
organizers to call the event off with 1/2 hours notice, but people
showed up anyway and proceeded with the protest though on a smaller
scale..
The Trump supporters, Proud Boys, etc have been
booking hotel rooms in N Va after the Harrington Hotel and Harry's Bar
refused to host them, and at least one other hotel considered booting
them out too. None the less, multiple hotels in DC itself are expected
to be hosting violent far-right terrorists this week. So much violence
is expected that the National Guard has been activated, initially
unarmed for traffic control.
